Aristotle
Find the good. Seek the Unity. Ignore the divisions among us.
Aristotle
Even if you must have regard to wealth, in order to secure leisure, yet it is surely a bad thing that the greatest offices, such as those of kings and generals, should be bought. The law which allows this abuse makes wealth of more account than virtue, and the whole state becomes avaricious.
Aristotle
The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
Aristotle
Youth loves honor and victory more than money.
Aristotle
The high-minded man is fond of conferring benefits, but it shames him to receive them.
Aristotle
